The HUGE 3500 Watt RMS Subwoofer | B2 Audio Rage XL 12" Review

[@BigJeffAudio]

Sorry the sub took crap at the end. I think it got hurt during the testing during the car. I know we have had great feedback on these subwoofers. But at least your followers know you give real reviews and do not show favorites. Would love to get you reset up to do it again. I love Deaf bonce but could the amp already have been hurt form all the test and maybe kicking out some DC ? Glad to see great SPL numbers with a non custom built box. Parker you are the man and think we can do this again and or a re cone to do that last test again.

[@tommylee9339]

@@BigJeffAudio man I love how "hands on" you are with customers and with anyone doing tests on the products you sell! I'll be making an order this summer when I build my 4 12 setup in my Civic!

[@princequestly2218]

You are man big Jeff, much respect!! ✌️

[@majicdude88]

Being that the deaf bonce atom pro's have DC offset issues to begin with, that is a possibility.

[@holeshotinspectionllc2412]

I'm wondering if motor force had something to do with it, I've seen the bigger subs struggle with the free air rated test, pretty sure Parker nuked a Zv6 as well. Just a reminder to everyone the rms rating is for the rated box space for the driver. The free air test Parker does is brutal, but fun to watch. Buddy has 6 of these 15's on a pitbull 20k in a blowthrough absolutely smashes, drivers are very responsive, and sounds amazing while still smashing the lows.🤙

[@Hertzsogood219]

I agree with you 💯 Big Jeff. I'd say Parker should run the full test again with fresh equipment. That amp could've very well caused the issues. Thanks for the video Parker. ✌️

[@B2audio]

Happy to see one of our subs featured on the channel. As for a few of the misconceptions, I can explain. Motor assembly = weight of the entire magnet. It is not stated as oz of the discs. But they are triple 9" wide slugs and 1" tall. The reason for the terminals being mounted like that was to maximize the spider landing area. And it is a snug fit, but if it goes south, we do keep spares. The sealing gaskets were used on the V1, but people were raving about the aluminum ones. So for the future we will offer the eva foam tape gaskets. The xmax is solely based on coil overhang position. Some add 30% to that measurement, which would make it 30 mm (1.2"). As it says in the manual, it is highly advisable to have the sub broken in before applying full power, especially when you are doing low notes below the subs fs. Still I'd say the sub did well considering the coil rub and it got loud! Thanks for the testing

[@BentleyVandenberg-p7u]

He definitely needs to start breaking in the subs he never breaks in any subs 🧐

[@tamaraproveaux2926]

My son has a kicker 12 solo X took about 6 months for him to break that speaker in running about half of power because we accidentally got a 2 ohm instead of a one but I couldn't believe the difference of the sound from when we first hooked it up to a few months later

[@quincytrotman2002]

U need to give these subs time to break in if the 8 inch is rated 100 RMS and takes it there is no way this sub would bottom out at 1k rms

[@kevinAuman1]

​@@BentleyVandenberg-p7uActually he does do it off camera and he states this each time he mounts a new sub that he will drive around and listen to it for a week or two before doing the testing! Pays to pay attention 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@jakabmircea7580]

You dont fully break in a subwoofer like this in 2 weeks....​@@kevinAuman1

i got a 2 inch, not 12, a 2 inch sub from B2, and it makes me incredibly happy, the most adorable little woofer.

Let's get a bunch of likes to help Parker recover some cost of the amp and subs

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

You are the man!! I’m and truly so blessed to have viewers like you that make all this possible

[@CarAudioObsessions]

Well the sub was donated by B2 and I'm sure Alphard being a channel sponsor had given him that amp.

[@joshholden8561]

[@SubzPawz]

Didn't pay for any of the equipment himself.

[@gapyrodawg5181]

Finally!!! Been wanting to see something from B2 on the Channel🤩. I had the exact same thing happen to my system last year. My Memphis MOJO Pro started rubbing because something slipped outta alignment. Thankfully it didn't take out the amp, the sub wont get loud anymore & it cuts out. Oddly enough i was only running 550watts on it when it went(supposed to take 750RMS) Memphis replaced the dual2 with a dual4 that o haven't even hooked up. Infact its still in its box it came in. I ended up grabbing a Avatar STU on sale($300 even) while i was waiting on the replacement. I was running the Memphis on a 2.0cuft box while it calls for a 2.5cuft. i ended up getting a Ground Shaker 2.5 30hz enclosure for the replacement Mojo Pro but never swapped out the Avatar system. Im only feeding it 1300watts, which is well under the 3000 it calls for. But it hits way harder than the Memphis ever did. Im waiting on a alternator upgrade before i drop my JP23v2 in to feed the Avatar what it wants. My only complaint is the Memphis played a much wider array of hz, where the STU cant. It only likes the Low Lows, everything above a certain point sounds like trash. Eventually once the alternator is in i plan to upgrade to a Death Penalty, X12v3, AB Godzilla, or something heavy duty and keep the Avatar as my Backup sub & the Memphis as my Back Ups Back up.

[@csj9619]

Death Penalty or X series, you can't go wrong with either one.

[@righteousbuilds3576]

It must be B2 Audio season. I do home theater stuff and my last 4 videos actually feature the 15 inch B2 Rage V3 driver in a home theater setting. It actually goes infrasonic. It's not even the Xl version and it's standing up to some pretty severe abuse with huge excursion.

[@timothyg2719]

Yeah, I saw the testing over on your channel. Pretty crazy.

[@robertstutlerjr.8278]

Let’s see a review on the JL AUDIO 13.5” W7.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Hmm I really do need to get my hands on one

[@brandonweaver2024]

Brother I agree

[@christopherparis6841]

They fkn blow smfh go watch robot underground cut one apart smfh idiots I swear !!!!

[@andrewkavanagh6028]

Here for it. Predict a 143 on 1000 watts ;)

[@catch22frubert]

I wouldn't mind seeing it, but they are just too damn expensive and they don't like to have more than 1000 watts a piece on them, so you would kinda have to get 2 of them to maximize cone area and run them at .75 ohms on a smart 3k bass turned down a little or maybe a JP23v1 at .75 ohms since you can't rely on pure power to get good spl scores. I might rather see four W6v3 15's of they even make them in the 15" size. Cone area is definitely king when it comes to getting loud with a high sound quality brand like JL. Four W6v3 15's on a smart 3k bass would probably be about perfect if those are 600w to 750w each. I've heard some really loud JL setups, but they all have to do it with cone area because the subs don't take a lot of power like modern 3.5"-4" coil subs do

[@jovanydorismond6924]

Another 🔥🔥 video. Thanks parker for all the work you put in to bring us these amazing videos. If i can make a request id love to see the Incriminator audio death penalty 12 on your channel! I know youll be honest and run it through its paces.

[@gapyrodawg5181]

As some one that's seriously thinking about getting a 12" Death Penalty for my Acura TSX single Sub system, I'd love to see that Woofer on the channel. I can't find any reviews & barely any videos at all. For the price ($600) there's a wide array of heavy duty subs to choose from: 3512, X12v3, American bass Godzilla, Rockford T1, massive Audio Hippo XL, DS18 Hooligan, Memphis MOJO, DC Audio Elite XL.

[@scottbe1]

Literally 🔥🤣

[@tripnit559]

Nice... B2 makes some monstrous subs. Can I make a couple recommendations for some future tests. Incriminator audio death penalty, warden, or their new tyrant. Or any kind of neo motor sub. Would really like to see a neo motor sub get tested and put it through the paces. See cooling on em compared to traditional ferritin subs. Keep up the great work parker

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Great recommendations man thank you!!

[@mikesilverthorn911]

Awesome bud! Seen this and couldn't click on it fast enough. The 23mm xmax rating is simply one way coil overhang. My xl is rated at 35mm one way by 70% bl and its a version one.

[@B2audio]

You are indeed correct, this is solely based on coil overhang. So by the 70% it would be 30 mm

[@richardwilson5944]

How do you like the v1 XL Rage 12. I heard they are better for lows

[@B2audio]

@richardwilson5944 I would say you would get more linear excursion out of the v2 and the parameters on the v2 does lows no shame

[@mikesilverthorn911]

@richardwilson5944 i have two rage xl 15's on an 8k at 1 ohm in a walled honda civic. Around 8.5 cubes net at 32 hz with a 10" big ass port. Switched from a sundown nsv4 18. I wanted something that could play a wider frequency range. Pretty intense hair tricks as well. Im very happy!

Man, Parker I love your videos you be having me cracking up, your commentary is the best 🤣. Thank you for the testing, how about a drag race of your top db 12inch subs vs price. those rms test are rough...... Rip Deaf Bounce. Maybe Sam can fix the amp? Big plus is that you can always re-cone the subs.

[@c6lton]

i really want to see you review the Slapz Audio Oblivion series of subwoofers. My Oblivion 15 and the amp came in yesterday and it seems to be amazing build quality for only $230. 2000w RMS, 4" black coated coils, 2 layer spider, 30mm of Xmax, etc. i just need to slap it in a 4 cubic ft box and break her in

[@lieutenantmikeo5979]

Yes.give them 2-3 yrs they are replacing skar. Y35 motor from entry to smackdown series obviously then neo series. 4" coils on the entry and 5" on the neos. From what I'm seeing they take the pwr

[@ShawnKDooley]

Sub looks like it moves really nice, I'd say its more of a SQL sub. The unloading issues can be playing too far below tuning on the power its seeing.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yes I agree 100%.

[@benhaggett2154]

Very expensive subs but I’d love to see an Fi Neo sub tested. I’ve got a Neo 4.7 15” running on a smart 5. Best numbers today are 148dB at 25Hz with the meter on the headrest.

[@Raymo2u]

Even the FI Xv4 and MT would be cool

[@DangaRanga]

I would definitely be curious to see. Have a neo 4.7 12 in the daily on 4k clamped (via BHG meter) and does 146.7 on music. beastly little sub

[@12Messenger]

Yeah unfortunately I won't be getting this sub after all. Been waiting for someone to review it. I guess I'll get the sundown xv3 15

[@guillaumejoop6437]

When your sub starts having so many Watts it starts getting converted in hp, you know you're going places

[@floydwilliams3321]

Yeah, for a 3 inch coil that is very aggressive rating, but it took it like a champ. I think those products from B2 are made for high end systems obviously nobody’s gonna be hammering their stuff like that and the normal environment overall, just a beast of a sub and beautiful very nice quality

[@dlcarburetor]

Looks like a great sub. I'd say re-cone it and bass on. What killed it was hitting x-mech. The box was tuned too high to support the cone at lower frequencies. With a box tuned for the range you play it in, I bet I would take that 3500w all day long. Wish I could afford to build a setup with some of those. The tests Parker does here definitely bring the excitement. Nice man 👍

[@timhenning3778]

You should try resilient sounds subs the platinum line or golds

[@OmniShido]

I miss the days of efficient subs.

[@optimusprimer4392]

Humble beginnings 😂

[@crandallexpo0648]

Yup

[@wilfredozabala5616]

The problem is that power is super cheap compared to the 90s. So we have massive power hungry subs now. To be fair efficient or not, car audio is at its loudest right now

[@Gomez561]

Efficiency is a beautiful thing but old school subs cant crush the lows and make a windy build. The way new subs can move to hit high SPL notes in the 30’s and 20’s is impressive nowadays

[@wilfredozabala5616]

@reson8q You could reproduce the same db/spl to a certain degree. If you did 150 in the 90s you were amongst the loudest. These days 150db is reproduced with a pair of 10s or 12s. Not to mention all the 160-180db builds we have in this era, unheard of in the 90s. Also, the newer term labs are harder to put numbers on.

[@zazz69ed]

Thanks Parker!! was great info.. the good the bad the ugly.. now would be nice if everyone could be an adult. hey it is car audio and stuff happens with new and old equipment and many other items.. the amp is used and older and is known for dc issues and the sub was doing stuff it wasn't meant to do and took power that was repeatedly up to 5k+, I thought we saw in the testing in car in a box not designed for it. It also was not sealed up good at the beginning and we could go on and on on many items. But it boils down to an amp burned and a sub burned... it happens and thanks for showing us and making your comments on everything and keeping it real. These are not true scientifically controlled events and nothing is calibrated and checked and verified before each test and during. Some people forget that or want to throw shade at you other times.. keep up the great work... a long time sub here .. i just dont comment often. you solid brother.

Right under the xmax rating there was the xmech rating which is the actual mechanical excursion. Which if you do the math on 51mm is 2 inch one way. Which is actually pretty crazy!

What you really need to work on is your electrical, not changing your amp. The BB8 really shines at 15v+, you are correct about it throttling itself when it clips, just tune it to not clip.

I feel you just can't go wrong with deaf bonce. I have 2 avatar stu 12s in a 5.5 cube box, 8 inch aero, tuned to 28hz with a jp83 at 1 ohm and it never bottoms out . Only got it stinky a couple times which is unusual for the power in a box that is 50 percent larger than recommended. Great subs. Built to beat on.

​@@ParkerTheBassheadSubsonic fixes that, but they're right. Had 2 DS18 2000w RMS on 5k never bottomed out. Moved to 7k , clackety clack. Added 3rd sub, ohm drop boosted 7k to almost 11k but no bottoming out.

[@bdc211]

[@lmadden6236]

In B2 Audios defense, I don't think Parkers enclosure was exactly to spec for the woofer, which caused it to bottom out on lower power

[@RyanBassForLife]

Nice but I like Resilient Sounds Platinum better. I got a 3" 8 layered flatwound aluminum voice coil thats way better than any 4 layered coil. It's strong as 2 3" coils🎉 Also retry the last test again when you recone it. Wasn't very fair to put a damaged subwoofer with a bent coil former from over excursion. I had the same thing happened to my 18" American Bass Godfather series subwoofer. After a few low frequency test tones tuned up all the way it hit the coil on the back of the motor then when I played it next the coil former wasn't aligned correctly. Then eventually the coil didn't move at all because it was stuck in the coil gap. I took it apart and found out the bottom of the coil was damaged and the part of the coil former was bent from over exceeding the subwoofers Xmech.

If the speaker surround starts making dimples does that mean it is clipping? I am new and trying to learn as much as I can.

[@CrystalClearSQL]

It just means it has reached its max excursion... not clipping. Excursion is how far the soft parts can travel in and out. Clipping is when the amp is sending a squared off sound wave to the speaker/driver.

Please make a test of the iconic JL 13W7. I've read multiple times that it can handle way more power than it's rated. It's also said that the x-mech is around 50mm. Greetings from Germany.

[@RJSDZNS]

Great video as always. Im thinking the amp going up in flames actually shows how brutally you can treat those amps.

[@asmith8904]

My beef with B2 is their deciptive sensitivity ratings. Most car audio is 1W/1M but B2 uses home audio 2.83V...and before someone says they dont... I talked to B2 about it. The real Sens is 4-6 db lower depending on the VC impediance.

[@Jaydogg209]

My b2 rage 15v3 d2 is 90.6 db, but the d1 is 82 db. So you think it's really rated around 86 db? That's some bs if that's true because that was a deciding factor when I bought it. I payed $395 so im not too mad about it. If that's true though what you say then I wonder why these b2s are louder on burps and playing music than most subs of this size.

[@troshaffer4921]

That's crazy, sorry about your amp man. Hopefully you can get it repaired. It really does feel like ever since everything changed with them they just been raising the prices, & I've been hearing of more failures in the past 6 mo or so than I ever heard about before. This was actually one I always wanted, I went with the RS Platinum 12's over the rage XL's(both were $420-$499ea at that time) & honestly was always kinda wishing I tried the B2. This is what happens when you try to make every penny you can. Their rep has taken a huge hit, at least in my area.

[@gregkirby]

Honestly. That was the most I've ever seen a sub move on less than a thousand watts. I'm not sure why it can't handle more power though? Seems like an extremely well built sub.

[@fredy000]

wondering how hot that coil got, I just got a rage 15 v3 and on low power it gets hot already (I'm very careful with the breaking in process)

[@jigsaw3334]

Presumably, the lower the ohm load the more power you’re throwing at subs, hence the bigger box recommendation. Though, typically smaller boxes handle more power, the bigger box will be louder all things equal.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Interesting! Maybe so

[@NerdyBassHead]

5:05 Me either, only way it happens is the ones that play 15 hz in a 30 hz tuned box n making it flop over its xmech Putting alot of stress on the surround especially when it dimples

[@danielmunson6131]

Let Big Jeff know I also want to test out a B2 rageXL 12. 😉😉

[@danielmunson6131]

I have bottomed out my rage 8 v1's many times. It hurts the soul a bit each time, but they just keep taking it.

[@brockmarquis8511]

Had a lot of movement for 22-23 mm. Looked great and sounded great from here. How would you compare it to the Avatar Stu 15s?

[@brobrothegreatmastros5402]

You should test out a "15inch-Slapz Audio-SmackDown-2 ohm Subwoofer" The reason I ask is B-cause i bought one but I haven't installed it yet because I don't have the correct box for it.

[@MikeAnnunziato]

Im curious if you hear a sound quality difference between a half bridge vs the full you are running

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Personally I don’t. Barevids made a good video comparing quality of both

[@MikeAnnunziato]

@ParkerTheBasshead I have seen that video very in depth but I hear so many people saying that they can hear a difference with the dampening and quality of the sound. Just curious because I have never been able to compare the two in person. I just found out that a class a/b has more clarity and depth they call it more "fidelity" than a class d both full range

As much as i like slinging shit around, that coil definitely got damaged when it bottomed out during testing. Would it have taken 3500w for much longer on a good coil? probably, but not for long

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir something got knocked out of whack!

[@castilloj.a.8569]

Es una bendición escucharte en español 😁😁

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir the new translator is pretty cool!!

maximum power without an enclosure as it can severely damage the speaker due to the lack of controlled air pressure needed to produce proper bass, potentially causing the voice coil to burn out or the cone to physically damage itself; an enclosure is crucial for optimal sound quality and to protect the subwoofer from excessive strain at high power levels.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

Yessir agree. This is an extreme test for sure and pushes sub to their limits so y’all can see what they can and can’t take

[@Andrew_kiwi_AF]

Parker. I’ve thrashed the fuck out of the rage 15’s without any issues at all. These things need power and clean power. What’s that box tuned to? That song that drops to 20hz looks like it’s shit loads below box tuning.

[@ricktroxell6448]

Sorry parker I dont see the juice for the squeze is that just like buyin just the dust cap and some stickers around the rim that leaks noless

[@MattSnider-b5z]

You have plenty of amplifiers for sure, but have you considered buying a Sundown Salt 8k. Not sure how much better it would be, but the I believe the world SPL holder uses it. May be sponsored by Sundown so gets amps for free. Just a thought.

[@frothyshoes]

I guess I'll stick with sundown haha. Sorry that happened dude, thanks for always posting the good and the bad.

[@johnstarks5323]

threaded inserts t-nuts if this is going to be one of your test boxes and your constantly mounting and unmounting subs

[@EverythingsAProject420]

since u done the b2 ,orion HCCA , deaf bounce, boss audio, yu should totally do the DC audio Lv6 (xl) they cost $1500-2000 but they look cool should totally do a review on the DC audio competition subs maybe even get a sponsorship from DC Audio id love to see a review of the DC audio

[@thatguykai479]

Test out some BAMF12s nice budget sub, supplying 1750 rms.

[@ParkerTheBasshead]

I did one several years back!

No amp protection can prevent catastrophic destruction when outputs are shorted at high power! That is the risk of pushing a driver to and beyond its limits both mechanical and thermal. If the voice coil comes apart and shorts the amp's outputs you lose the driver and amp. Fortunately the (amp) repairs are usually straightforward. UNLESS you dump that cheap drychem extinguisher into the amp! That will really be bad for the amp and I would ONLY do that if there is a fire that spreads to your vehicle/test bench/etc. For this reason I recommend a CO2 extinguisher. Yes they are more expensive but they won't destroy your electronics and make a big mess AND a partial discharge doesn't require a full recharge/refill like drychem. It's a win/win.

[@HashDogg06]

You can put fuses inline of the speaker wires.

[@cpufrost]

@@HashDogg06 That won't stop the amp from destroying its outputs in the case of a sudden short at near full power unfortunately. Fusing a speaker will protect the speaker voice coil from thermal destruction if the amp's power grossly exceeds the thermal capacity of the voice coil however.

[@majicdude88]

Box specs are always different for subs with different voice coil resistance. The BL and other specs change. If you see specs for the same sub but different voice coil resistance and the box specs are the same, then they are inaccurate specs. Different resistances always result in different box requirements. Stitching is only used on subwoofers for 1) Aesthetics and 2) Added Mass for lowering Fs. It's not on the B2 because they want to maintain a lower MMS.
